Have you tried reinstalling avahi-daemon? And what kind of errors are
you getting exactly?


I am about to try that - I dl'ed that and a few related packages on my Dapper
partition- moved them to Etch and I'll see what happens after I install.
All the boot error messages seem to relate to avahi-daemon


OK I re-installed avahi-daemon ( and related dependecies) - the error
messages are gone---and I can bring up eth0 with "ifconfig eth0 up"
but dchp is not running so no network. How do I get it running ??


Try installing ifplugd, and see if that works. That should
automatically configure itself to start when the computer is booting,
and it should try to automatically connect you to your wired network.
If that doesn't work then you could always try the default networking
way (Which I don't have much knowledge on, I'm still new to Debian),
and it should configure your network upon boot as well.
